Every year, the Pro Football Hall of Famer and former Minnesota Supreme Court Justice plays his middle-school sousaphone to cheer on runners in the Twin Cities Marathon and honor his wife, who died of cancer in 2018.

A U.S. fan who went to the 1994 World Cup as a teenager vowed to take his 8-year-old daughter to this one.

Then he entered FIFA’s nightmare ticket maze.

Brian Rizzo’s quest for seats, at 10 times the cost of his 1994 World Cup tickets, is emblematic of the ordeal fans have been through to see this summer’s soccer extravaganza. https://t.co/eDweikStob

FIFA is set to generate a record amount from tickets + hospitality not only because the World Cup was increased in size to 48 teams.

It's also nearly doubling its projected *revenue per match* because of much-higher ticket prices. via @WSJ

@dharnishiqbal @WSJ FIFA is saying it's sold 90% of the roughly 6 million tickets available, as I wrote here.

@dharnishiqbal @WSJ The revenue figures (and projected revenue, from 2026) are from FIFA. FIFA has said there were 500 million requests for tickets (which number about 6 million). It hasn't said how many requests were for the final vs. group-stage matches, etc.

⚽️ Not long ago, FIFA kept World Cup ticket prices affordable to suit hardcore fans.

💰 Now, it's leveraging a U.S.-based World Cup to pack its war chest with money it plans to redistribute to 211 member nations around the world.

@Rosenberg_Mike Thank you for your standard-setting work at SI, and all the great work to come.
